difference between LCD and LED monitor

LCD picture tube contain, the tubes actually filled with some liquid in it while

LED contain the small LED bulbs. LED TV's gives more clarity than LCD and also gives like low power consumption. LED can be viewed in any angle but only if you are big fan of HD clarity then go for LED otherwise normal TV viewing hardly makes a difference

The LEDs can come in two forms, Dynamic RGB LEDs which are positioned behind the panel, or white Edge-LEDs positioned around the rim of the screen which use a special diffusion panel to spread the light evenly behind the screen.

RGB Dynamic LED TV This method of backlighting allows dimming to occur locally creating specific areas of darkness on the screen. This means you see truer blacks and much higher dynamic co ntrast ratios

Edge-LED TV This method of backlighting allows for LED TVs to become extremely thin. The light is diffused across the screen by a special panel which produces a superb uniform colour range across the screen. Currently LEDs are not small enough to be used for individual pixels in domestic televisions, and so the use of true LED TVs is restricted to much larger screens in places such as sport stadia. Don't let this put you off however, as there are some great benefits to choosing an LED TV over a standard LCD TV. • Improved brightness and contrast levels, with deeper blacks. • The use of Edge-LED lighting allows the TV to be thinner than standard LCD TVs. • LED TVs can consume up to 40% less power than a LCD TV of similar size • They can offer a wider colour gamut, especially when RGB-LED backlighting is used. LED TVs are also more environmentally friendly due to there being no mercury used during manufacture. Overall there are many benefits to buying a LED TV rather than a standard LCD TV.

LED TVs have been heavily hyped lately as the next big thing in hi-def TVs, with improved picture quality compared to their LCD counterparts. This claim is a little deceptive, as LED TVs are essentially LCD TVs, the main difference being that LEDs use light emitting diodes as backlighting as opposed to the standard fluorescent tubing used in LCDs. That said, there are many benefits of LED TVs and many reasons why you should buy one. This article will give you some of the reasons why you should buy an LED TV.

1. Better picture quality. Most experts agree on this. Even a cursory examination at the store would show that LEDs have better image quality compared with LCDs or plasma TVs. The reason for this is that the LED backlighting allows for improved contrast levels and display of blacks as well as better color accuracy. And if you get a full array LED TV, in which the LEDs are arranged across the entire surface of the screen, there is little light leakage from the screen in darker scenes, allowing for better dark levels than those of other types of hi-def flat screen TVs.
2. Brighter Pictures. This is a particularly important consideration if you’re planning to use your LED TV in a room with a big picture window, such as your living room, or one that otherwise is brightly lit. Apart from a more brightly-lit picture, LED TVs also have non-reflective screens, reducing glare and making viewing easier.
3. Lower power consumption. In general, LED TVs use less electricity to run compared with LCD TVs. However, this may not be true for all types of LEDs. According to experts, edge-lit LEDs, in which the LEDs are arranged around the edges of the panel, use 30% to 40% less power than LCDs or plasmas. But the same may not be true for some models of full-array LEDs, which may even use more power than plasma TVs. So if this is a concern for you, check the model of LED TV you’re buying very carefully.
4. Better aesthetics. Depending on which type of LED TV you’re getting, they can be extremely thin, making them not only easier to install in your home theater, but also more attractive to look at. Again, however, there are differences between models, as LEDs that use the edge backlight technology are generally thinner than those which use full-array LEDs.
5. More environment-friendly. LED TVs do not use mercury, compared with the traditional LCD TVs, which makes disposing of them safer when they have to be replaced. And they reportedly last longer than LCD TVs, which means they’ll need to be replaced less frequently than other types of TVs. Some manufacturers are even claiming a life of 100,000 hours although this has yet to be validated.
